Adam and Eve

This morning we read a portion of the scriptures that referred to the story of Adam and Eve. After we were done Spencer asked, "So Mom, what is the deal with Adam and Eve again?" Apparently it had been a while since we talked about it so I told him I would tell him the story on the way to school. Once we got in the car I started in with the whole story from the beginning. The boys were really attentive and I thought things were going really well. When I get to the part where Adam and Eve were "cast out" of the garden Spencer asked in all seriousness, "Mom, how did they know where to find the exit?" Oh Spencer! We all laughed! I tired to get things back on track hoping that maybe they would learn something important. But then we get to the part where Adam and Ever wonder in the wilderness and build an alter seeking direction from God. And Ross said, "Well, if God was in the garden... and Adam wanted to talk to him... why didn't he just go yell over the fence." OH ROSS! So much for learning something important.

Why are kids so funny?! Seriously, I have read about, pondered on, and been taught this story a thousand times in my life and never once have I even considered these questions. Oh, to be a child again!
